If AJs not here, i think Tate has the ability to be a really good #3. 

He had a good game and made some great plays, no question.  

I don't like him as a #3. Tate has things that he's very good at, but he also has things that he's not very good at.  As a #4, you can work him into spots, get him favorable matchups, and play to his strengths.  As a #3, he's going to be in a lot more positions where he will be forced to play to his weaknesses and we'll see diminishing returns. I personally would like to see someone with a more well rounded skill set in that role.  I think this team would also benefit more from a vertical threat in that spot.
